Void warranty with springs? and other questions...
I have a couple questions... so please answer them all if you can.
1.) How long does the OEM shock last with OEM springs and stuff?
2.) How long does the OEM spring last? Do they last forever? What about aftermarket springs? The same?
2.) Will changing to aftermarket springs void my warranty (even if its H&R OEs)?
3.) If so, which shocks should I get instead of the OEM one?
Thanks!

1.) oem shocks and springs? i have 143k miles on mine and they are still good.
2.) springs over time will start to sag a little, but nothing usually to major. and yes aftermarket springs too. (usually seen in 5+years)
3.)nope. (unless proven that they were the cause of what ever is wrong)
4.)H&R are the best

Yeah ... it won't void your warranty. Any dealer refusing to do work on your car because of those modifications is just trying to weedle his way out of the job. Just take it to another dealer in your area, some dealers are mod friendly and they will install aftermarket springs in your car. Park Ave Acura in New Jersey is like that. So it all depends on the dealer is the real answer.
